Urban Exploration - Inside Lost Buildings

Ever wondered what was behind the façade of a beautiful yet derelict building ? Ever asked permission to have a peek and been turned down ? That's where Urban Explorers come in.... Recording through photographs the art, decay and progress of nature reclaiming what was once clean and tidy. This illustrated talk will show some amazing sites on-screen and explain why this rather bizarre (slightly illegal) hobby is of great importance to those who consider real heritage is always worth recording before it is gone.
